Sir,-So at last we know that J. Malton Murray has been a professing Christian but has fallen by the wayside. For him Christianity does not work. If Mr; Murray had accepted Jesus Christ and not Christianity he would have found that it worked; and his prayers would have been answered. The Apostle Paul stated, "For by Grace are ye saved, through Faith, and not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast." Quite obviously Mr. Muray tried to work out his own salvation instead of letting God do it in His own appointed way through Jesus Christ. It may not be, too late for Mr. Murray to put his trust in Jesus CHrist and then he will discover that his prayers will be answered as mine and countless thousands of others have been answered. But till that happens Mr. Murray should not blame God or the Church for the position he is in today
